SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner is going ahead with her first stadium task force meeting even though some major players will not be at the table.

Syracuse University Chancellor Kent Syverud said he would not appoint anyone to the mayor's task force, saying there is no urgency and the school needs to review multiple options to replace or to renovate its aging Carrier Dome.

Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney also told the city she would not sit on the task force, but invited the members to meet with her to talk about the stadium project, said Ben Walsh, the city's economic development chief.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office has not responded to the invitation, Walsh said.

Miner announced during her State of the City address that she would start a task force to investigate the possibility of a new sports stadium in Syracuse. She was left out of conversations among SU, Onondaga County and Cuomo as momentum built toward state and county help to build a $500 million stadium at the old Kennedy Square site on Fayette Street.

The project fizzled after the mayor asked questions about how such a project would be financed and affect the community.

Walsh said the first task force meeting is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Feb. 25. It is open to the public. The meeting is at Housing Visions headquarters, 1201 East Fayette Street.

"I think the mayor has made it clear from the beginning that while the stadium was the impetus for the task force, the mission goes beyond the stadium proposal," he said, adding that they will look at the surrounding neighborhood and other projects for Kennedy Square.
